An easter egg has been found in Google search . It was about time that google did something interesting with google search , which even after the recent redesign wasn’t very interesting, But still the minimal look is what we all love about google search .

What is an easter egg anyway , well Wikipedia defines it as

A virtual Easter egg is an intentional hidden message, in-joke or feature in a work such as a computer program, web page, video game, movie, book or crossword.

What it means is that easter egg is just a simple trivial feature that in placed by the creators of the software product to lighten things up .

So now back to google’s easter egg, Imagine Google doing a Barrel roll well you can literally ask google to do it by typing “Do a barrel roll” in the search box , the same effect can also be triggered by typing “z or r twice” .

Then try imagining google having a slight tilt , well neither could I , but you can still see it by searching for “tilt“ or “askew” .

These effects seem to be working in the recent versions of all major browsers .

Gmail wasn’t the first web mail interface that I used but it is certainly the best I have ever used. The best web mail interface just got better with a new feature called Preview Pane , which provides a twitter like view for you Gmail page , and greatly improves your productivity .
